Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reconstitute Cartalax?expand_more
Add 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 20 mg Cartalax vial for a concentration of 6.67 mg/mL. Inject the water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — do not shake.
How many units is a Cartalax dose on an insulin syringe?expand_more
At 6.67 mg/mL, one unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) holds 67 mcg. Divide your target dose in mcg by 67 to get the number of units to draw.
What is the typical Cartalax research dose?expand_more
Cartalax is typically dosed at 2–5 mg (2000–5000 mcg) once daily SC in research protocols. See the full titration schedule on the protocol page.
